This is a picture taken of my television screen and features a still from a scene that was filmed for the classic motion picture "Sunset Boulevard," but was ultimately cut from the final print. It had been over a year since I've had the smell of developing chemicals on my hands, so I cut down a few pieces of 35mm film and shot them one at a time in different cameras. You grow to miss that smell sometimes!

Date: March 26th, 2014, 2.37 a.m.

Interesting way to do it! I usually shoot a hole roll testing mine.

Norm, my problem is coming up with interesting subjects at which to aim my cameras. Since I seem to have done all around my area over and over, ad infinitum, I'm running out of good stuff to shoot. When I try a whole roll in one of my camera tests, it can sometimes take over a year to finish it. And all because I just don't want to shoot something I've already filmed. Events such as car shows are good, because there are lots of cars and people to shoot and that can fill several rolls quickly. There just aren't that many cars shows around my area, though.

Thanks, Joey! Sometimes I just need the smell of the chemicals, so shooting one negative is a quick fix as well!

I have the same problem here. I use to go out shooting everyday and some days I'd take the digital and other days a film camera. Here lately I've been so busy I have to plan my photo trips. I do have quite a few things close by I like to shoot with different cameras ... they never seem to see the objects the same way. Car shows are an easy way to shoot a lot of photos and see things you don't normally see and sometimes it's worth the drive to go to a big show. The POCI convention is in Wichita, Kansas this year and I'm trying to decide if I'm going or not. The Mecum Spring Classic is here in Indy in May and they moved the Good Guys Show up into June this year. I really liked going to it in September.

There are a lot of good shows just a tad bit further than I can realistically drive to from here, so I'll just drool over your pictures when you post them, Norm!
